This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE100X300S, the same code under the new prefix. The ACE replacement is a current-production ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class, with a matching short body and the same mounting-accessory family, so it fits the same envelope. Confirm mounting-interface dimensions against the ACE datasheet before ordering.
Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X300S
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X300S is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 300mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE100X300S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X300S
The ACP100X300S is a double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP family, with a 100 mm bore, 300 mm stroke and a 25 mm hard-chrome S45C rod on a hard-anodized aluminium body. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681.6 N, rising to 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into heavy gantries and press fixtures where a full-length body will not fit. The S in the code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke sensing. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is ACE100X300, same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE100X300S (ISO 21287) carries the same bore/stroke/force class; confirm mounting-interface dimensions against the ACE datasheet before installation. Rod type: female thread (blank) or male thread (B). Thread options: PT (blank) / G.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | 5154 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
The ACE100X300S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X300S Is Used
Heavy press fixture clamping
With 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, the 100 mm bore clamps steel weldments in automotive fixture bases, holding parts through drilling and welding cycles at up to 500 mm/s approach speed.
Baler ram advance
In a scrap or textile baler, the short body fits a tight frame while delivering 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa to compact material over the full 300 mm stroke.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X300S with the ACE100X300S
Size against the neighbours: a 80 mm bore gives 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up is not possible because 100 mm is the largest ACP bore. If your load needs less than about 2356 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, the 80 mm size may save air and cost. This 300 mm stroke sits exactly at the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 100, so no made-to-order stroke is needed. Remember a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the standard face, and the -S magnet on this unit accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. Order ACE100X300 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE100X300S
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force class
- ✓ Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S for magnet if you need sensors
Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X300S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681.6 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 5497.8 N and pull 5154.2 N; theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is a double acting compact cylinder, bore 100 mm, stroke 300 mm, rod 25 mm with female M16x1.5 thread, 1/4" port, operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. The model is discontinued; ACE100X300 is the current replacement.
Yes - the S in the code means the optional -S magnet is fitted on this unit, so CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body for end-of-stroke signalling. Without the -S code there is no magnet. Also note the bumper only decelerates the piston at the ends; it never holds a load, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where position must be retained.
